SadandConfusedWA Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I'm not sure what to make of this. I have recently started evening classes at a college and there is a teacher there that is 10 years older than me and married. I was always quite friendly towards him and we had fun joking around. I have always noticed him checking me out. Literally every single time he is around me he would stare at my body (esp my chest ). There was quite a bit of "accidental touching" but nothing to really put my finger on. Then about a week ago he started telling me jokes that are quite sexual and saying things like how would you say number "69" in your language while looking directly at me with this grin. I have no interest in him but would like to maintain good working relationship. I guess I want to know if I should be a bit more distant towards him as I don't want to encorouge him any further - he seems to be getting bolder as times go on. But then again maybe I am imagining things as nothing has happened that is really concrete. I'm not all that experianced with men or good at reading signals. Thoughts?
Adunaphel Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Make it clear politely that you do not appreciate explicit sexual comments or double entendres by acting normally, or colder than you usually do, whenever he flirts with you, by not laughing or looking amused whenever he cracks a sexual joke. If you get the opportunity to do so without making it sound like you are blatantly criticizing him, or openly referring to him, mention that you are disgusted by married guys who act inappropriately with other women, that you are easily embarassed, that once a co-worker you found very pleasant started to get too personal and you really, really hated the situation. That kind of things.
